Holy S word ! When I read 72 I was automatically thinking of the stretch through the pygmies near Barnegat Wreckers. That would have been a much better place to crash land.

Near the wreckers its only 2 lane, he had the center strip at this spot, but he probably wasn't looking for the best place That white patch of road is the bridge over RT9, looks like he bounced a couple of times on it. Very lucky guy.
